Chapter 227 - 227 8 Something Big Has Happened

Chapter 227: Chapter 8: Something Big Has Happened! Chapter 227: Chapter 8: Something Big Has Happened! “Snake eggs? I’ve never dealt with egg-like creature pets before.”

Feng Yin scratched his head and said, “How to train egg-shaped ones, that’s a bit beyond the scope…”

Egg-shaped ones can naturally be possible, but Feng Yin didn’t want to do it, because that would be too bizarre.

Even eggs can be tampered with, it is really too shocking to hear.

Although she didn’t know what ‘beyond the scope’ meant, He Xiangming understood Feng Yin’s meaning, and also felt that she was thinking too fancifully.

To tame a creature, one must wait until after it is born. How can one tame something that is still just an egg?

Prenatal education maybe?

“No problem, I will try to hatch those snake eggs, and then think about what to do later.”

He Xiangming quickly made up her mind: “I’m going to buy a batch of baby creatures, it should take only three to five days.”

“Very well.”

Feng Yin said, “But I should have to leave Yuezhou City for a while, I’ve received a letter from home, there are some matters that I need to take care of.”

Home?!

The word ‘home’ triggered a flurry of thoughts in He Xiangming’s mind.

After all… in He Xiangming’s cognition, Ling Yunduan’s origin is indeed somewhat mysterious.

But He Xiangming didn’t dare to ask more.

Now, their cooperation has imperceptibly taken on a different flavor. The more powerful Feng Yin’s performance, the lower He Xiangming’s position…

Seeing the intellect shown by these thirty-six baby creatures made He Xiangming feel even less confident.

“When will you come back?”

“It won’t be more than three months at most.”

Feng Yin calculated.

“Before I leave, I will rush to produce a batch of creature pets so that our auction won’t encounter a hiatus.”

He Xiangming forced a bitter smile.

A hiatus?

With at least three months time, how could there not be a hiatus?

The previous batch of six little guys had completely made a name for themselves. Now, people were coming to her non-stop every day. Just the core disciples from various powerful factions were already seventy to eighty people!

“I wish you a bon voyage and a quick return. The creature pets are not urgent, don’t work too hard.”

But she dared not bring these up.

Now she was truly afraid that Ling Yunduan would become displeased: Don’t tell me you plan to use me as a long-term worker? I’ve already promised to rush through the work, so the auction won’t experience a hiatus. Are you still harping on numbers, are you planning to work me to death?

She considered her words, swallowed back what she was about to say, and switched to a farewell greeting. Of course, her emphasis was certainly on the second half of the sentence: a quick return!

“Thank you.”

After finally finishing up, Feng Yin continued to stroll around Yuezhou City; conveniently checking if there were any new moves from this Mr. Mo from Supreme Mountain.

In addition, Feng Yin also had to see if Wu Tiejun had anything else to contact him about in these past few days.

When he got to the tree hole and reached in, as expected, there was new news.

Furthermore, the tree hole was filled with treasures!

Now that Feng Ying had the treasure ring in hand, Feng Yin didn’t rush to deal with those resources, planning to wait till the night for Feng Ying to come over one more time and use the Space Ring to take everything away; it was safer this way.

However, after Feng Yin read the contents of the letter, his face changed drastically—

“Sir, there’s a very urgent matter! I need to meet you face to face! I beg for your help! Please help!”

These past few days, He Bibiqu had completely put aside everything in Yuezhou City, he could not care about anything else!

Whether the assassin attacked Li Zhengyun again, or Yunxia Villa was overturned overnight and all lives were gone!

Because, something big had happened, compared with Li Zhengyun being killed and Yunxia Villa destroyed, it was just a trivial matter!

Among the four battlefronts of the Great Qin, a major event took place in the Western front.

Great Marshal Ma Daocheng and Deputy Marshal Ma Daogong were both assassinated at almost the same time, heavily wounded and at death’s door; the Western Army was suddenly thrown into a leaderless, precarious situation.

The Yan Army, who were confronting the Western Army, increased their troops by 200,000 and forcefully stepped over Qianmo Plain, continuously gathering forces, with the impending outbreak of a large-scale war at any moment.

And the Qi Kingdom’s army on the southern side was putting pressure on the front, while the Yan Army on the other side was eyeing them fiercely…

In the blink of an eye, the Northern and Eastern side were out of their reach for any immediate assistance, so they could only sigh in frustration.

The only ones who could respond in time to support the Western Line were Yuezhou City and Hundred War Pass, and, further afield, Ningzhou.

But the key issue now was… Ma Daocheng, as a long-standing marshal and an important general of the country, had a high reputation in the Western Army. If he does not personally oversee the situation, even if Wu Tiejun or the so-called God of War, Fei Pingjiang, presides over the situation, the practical effect would not be as highly effective as Ma Daocheng.

Even worse, if Wu Tiejun or Fei Pingjiang could get there in time and command the army, there would still be the drawback of not understanding the situation in its entirety due to the upper not knowing the lower. If a large-scale war breaks out, the situation would still be far from optimistic.

Therefore, the Western Army’s request for assistance primarily aimed at inviting a divine healer to the front to save Ma Daocheng while hoping to heal him at the same time. If Ma Daocheng could recover to a state where he can command the battle, that would be the best!

The Western Army’s model of requesting assistance fell into the eyes of people who know military matters, like He Bibiqu and Wu Tiejun, and they could see many problems clearly.

In the minds of the Western Army’s proud soldiers, as long as the Great Marshal can wake up and command the war, then we are still the invincible Western Army!

We don’t need a new commander, nor do we need reinforcements!

We just need a divine doctor.

Although the military documents did not expressly state it, the undertone was clear and easily comprehensible.

As long as we have the great marshal, we are the invincible Western Army!

We do not need anyone else to command us!

We only need to maintain our original structure to sweep the Yan Army off its feet.

All we need is for our Great Marshal to be saved. We do not need anything else.

The military department was plagued with headaches over such a demand.

Indeed, the military high command also hoped that Ma Daocheng could be revived to preside over the war personally—it was the safest bet.

They also knew what the Western Army feared.

Their actions were not about disobedience, nor about ignoring orders, and certainly not about disrespecting superiors.

What they feared most was: If a new commander came, Ma Daocheng might not ever wake up.

Or even if Ma Daocheng woke up, he might not return to the Western Army, no longer being the Great Marshal.

After all, many were envious of Ma Daocheng’s position and wanted to meddle. Ma Daocheng’s military acumen was unquestionable but irreplaceable.

Power struggles, indeed, knew no bounds.

The Western Army’s actions subtly conveyed one thing: Don’t play the power struggle game with us.

We, the Western Army, do not play that game!

If it were scholars, they most likely would not make it so obvious. They would achieve the same result with a more roundabout and tactful approach.

But these military men did not mince words.

They acted openly but thought they were being subtle and roundabout, full of hints, leaving enough room for compromise on both sides…

First off, the military department contacted the Rainbow Heavenly Clothes White Clothes Division, and then reached out to Kong Gaohan, who was still in Tiannan.

Kong Gaohan’s reputation as a miracle doctor echoed throughout the Great Qin, and given that he was in Tiannan, he was the best, or rather… the only choice for this rescue mission!

Kong Gaohan was not negligent and immediately prepared to leave, but how could He Bibiqu let him hit the road like this?

“You can’t go!”

He Bibiqu was firm.

“If I don’t go, what will happen to Ma Daocheng? What about the Western Army? If I don’t go, who would you send? Who would be more suitable than me?”

Kong Gaohan anger was evident, hurling out a string of questions at He Bibiqu’s face like a barrage of bullets.

“If you go, you will undoubtedly die! You will never be able to see Ma Daocheng!” perspiration broke out on He Bibiqu’s forehead.

He Bibiqu understood this as well as Kong Gaohan himself.

If someone dared to assassinate Ma Daocheng, how could they not be wary of Kong Gaohan, the miracle doctor?

Kong Gaohan, with his fame resonating throughout the Great Qin, was not only known in the Great Qin, was he?

Even though Kong Gaohan’s attempt at rescue might not be successful, wouldn’t the inability for Kong Gaohan to even make an attempt be a more beautiful outcome?

By killing the Miracle Doctor of the Great Qin along the way, wouldn’t it be more than satisfactory? Wouldn’t that be perfect!

So, there must be an ambush on the way. Not just one, but multiple ones, till death does Kong Gaohan part.

Kong Gaohan was in Yuezhou after all, and this was no secret.

As long as Kong Gaohan made a move, he would step onto a one-way path from which there would be no return.

Perhaps, he might even die before the severely injured Ma Daocheng!

Sending Kong Gaohan was indeed sending him to his death. Even if he were sent, he might not be able to save Ma Daocheng!

A painful truth he didn’t want to admit, but He Bibiqu’s confidence in Kong Gaohan’s medical skills had indeed drastically diminished!

Then, how to save Kong Gaohan from a doomed fate and rescue Ma Daocheng, reversing the present dire situation?

He Bibiqu quickly thought of a brilliant plan.

Send Doctor Feng!

All problems can thus be solved!

In He Bibiqu’s view, Doctor Feng’s medical skills were far superior to the reputably renowned Kong Gaohan. If Kong Gaohan went, it would likely be a wasted trip given the opponents’ calculations, they couldn’t rule out the variable of Kong Gaohan.

However, if Doctor Feng were to go, the situation would be greatly different. First, Doctor Feng was virtually unknown. The enemy would most likely focus on figures like the old Kong Gaohan. Doctor Feng’s safety would undoubtedly be much higher.

Secondly, Doctor Feng’s skills in treating internal and external injuries were far superior to the old Kong Gaohan. As long as he reaches safely, it would be a marvel to bring the dead back to life, as simple as eating beans!

As long as Doctor Feng secretly arrives and Ma Daocheng secretly wakes up, it could yield the effect of unexpected forces, which would determine the outcome of this battle!

Without a doubt.

Thus, consider any aspect, Doctor Feng is the only choice for this trip, the optimal choice!

But this matter must be kept a secret.

And the person to make contact would still be Wu Tiejun.

Once Wu Tiejun knew of the matter, he immediately tried to contact Feng Yin and then stayed put at the relay point.

He would occasionally stick his head out to take a look outside.

All his personal soldiers, including Fei Xinyu, were kept at a distance.

Please come soon, Doctor Feng.

Luckily, Feng Yin arrived at Wu Tiejun’s place on the same afternoon.

As soon as he entered, Wu Tiejun embraced him, “Heavens, you’re finally here.”

“Urgh…”

Feng Yin was caught off guard and was almost suffocated by Wu Tiejun’s bear hug.
